Exhaust header gasket size? (Read 175 times)

marekbuk Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 158 West Yorkshire, UK Gender:	Exhaust header gasket size? 09/26/15 at 03:49:56 I received a new exhaust header gasket from a third party dealer and this measures 55mm diameter but the exhaust port measures 67mm diameter.Is this right? I can't see how to hold the gasket central in the port without it dropping on the the lower edge of the port recess , see pic.

Reply #6 - 09/26/15 at 13:27:17 Just checked my gasket invoice and the part is listed as fitting LS650 1987-2000. Mine is a 2005 S40 so I wonder if Suzuki changed the design of the Header pipe?

They are all the same regardless of year. If the gasket you have is not 60mm OD it's the wrong gasket. Did it come in a sealed plastic bag with a white adhesive sticker with SUZUKI and the part # printed on it ?

Reply #8 - 09/27/15 at 02:09:31 I bought a pack of 10 labelled as fitting those LS650 dates but not Suzuki I found a thread from 2013 from someone who had the same issue - ie bought a non OEM part that was too small I'm going to order from a Suzuki dealer tomorrow and send the small ones back for a refund

Reply #10 - 09/27/15 at 11:14:29 Waiting for my replacement S40 exhaust header gasket meant I couldn't play out on my bobber this weekend but I still wanted to 'play' on it - the header pipe made a fine instrument - with a little help from some kitchen waste pipe - didgeridoo style! Hear what it sounds like here: https://youtu.be/CjR7NbLsQjI

Reply #12 - 09/28/15 at 12:39:38 Good job on playing the header......and it is a good thing you must didn't blow on the end of the pipe - black carbon rings are tough to get off your mouth (I would guess)!

Reply #13 - 09/28/15 at 15:41:34 Some places in America , that could be dangerous. I don't think men are really up for a date with a moose. I, too, applaud the effort and understand the desperation of a downed bike.

Reply #14 - 09/30/15 at 01:23:52 The company that supplied the wrong sized gasket have sent me a replacement pack of 10 FOC so now I have 9 x 61mm and 10 x 55mm gaskets spare. If any of you need one I can send you one FOC - you just pay the Postage (from the UK) and packing and the PayPal charge Its got to be cheaper than the OEM part
